Pass a Value to a Child Form

Terry Bottorff — Sun, 23 Jan 2011 04:52:16 GMT

I select a record in my parent table with a browse dialog. I then click an edit button to load a child form using a childformdialog.

That all works fine. I am trying to pass the name field from my contestantsbo to my child form just for information on my child form by putting the name in a label on my child form.

This is the code I am using on my parent form.

Private Sub btneditdata_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles btneditdata.Click

'Me.ChildFormDialog1.ShowDialog()

Dim frm As childform = New childform

frm._cnames = Me._cname

If Me.ChildFormDialog1.ShowDialog = System.Windows.Forms.DialogResult.OK Then

SrswtdPointsBO1.Save()

Else

SrswtdPointsBO1.Undo(MicroFour.StrataFrame.Business.BusinessUndoType.AllRows)

End If

End Sub

Private ReadOnly Property _cname() As String

Get

Return Me.ContestantsBO1.InvertedName

End Get

End Property

This is the code I am using on my child form.

Friend WriteOnly Property _cnames() As String

Set(ByVal value As String)

Label6.Text = value

End Set

End Property

I put a break point on this line Label6.Text = value and 'value' has the exact info I want to display But it does not show up on the label on my form.

Please see attached picture of my child form.

Thank you so much. Exactly what I was looking for. I searched for 'sending a parameter' and never got this hit.

Perfect. Thank you.

Hi Terry,

You should use the childform constructor to pass over a value.
